DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

So with thanks to GavP we traced my running issue to a faulty rev transducer / speed switch. Removed the wire to the solenoid on the MFI pump and no more hunting / cut out issues. 12 hours plus in the saddle this weekend and the car is pulling beautifully. No issues with back firing or over-run. Hap...

His suggested fix of removing wire to rev transducer / speed switch solenoid on the MFI cured my running issue. [emoji41] Sent fro...

So new pump is in, new tank is in and all set for Prescott Hillclimb Weekend with Gav P tomorrow. I never want to see a fuel tank again - a real saga getting that fitted - kept getting fuel leaks but sorted that with proper fuel clamps eventually. Such a tight / difficult space to work under the car...

its 3M 08800 grey sealer 250ml bag, I think at least 2 required to achieve the thickness and texture of the original coating, I would buy 3 and return one if not used. Some sort of spray gun attachment is required with these bags too. Please don't take my word for it, either in terms of the colour ...

Yes the finish is thick underseal type - rough / pimpled. I’ll get some more images and see if anyone can positively ID. Don’t want to bill it as original if it’s not!

I’ll do that if I can work out its original. See below - three fittings - I presume the one on the right is the screen filter. There are no under tank fittings - did the originals have those? https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240426/a1a30d55a1f2841a6ca4d089f7893189.jpg Sent from my iPhone using Tap...

Sell the fuel tank on ebay (or on here). That will fill a gap for somebody, and people value originality. If anyone wants it happy for it to go free to a good home. I’m not sure if it’s original or not. Sure someone with the skills and time could restore it. PM me if any interest. Sent from my iPho...

The Dansk version is excellent, great value I think, easy to obtain e.g. Design911 and fits perfectly. The only difference that I found was that the angle of the send and return pipes seemed to be subtly different from the original and I recall having to bend one of the (bolt on) pipes slightly. th...

Nothing there overly concerns me. I'm more hands on than most, so this wouldn't be for everyone. But if it were me I'd chemically or electrically remove the rust then epoxy line the tank. It looks very thin, maybe less than a tenth of a millimetre thick on a tank wall probably 1.2mm thick. I'd be m...

I have a Dansk tank in mine, fit is fine, You just need to paint it prior to fitting to factory spec or you own. As far as I understand the, the main difference is that the Dansk tanks don't have the internal filter. But when was the last time someone replaced the screw in tank filter? Plus you hav...

Any views on what / where to buy please?

Are the after market ones any good / a nightmare to fit?

My fuel tank looks like it has had it (see video below apols for poor quality!). Is there any point in trying to have it professionally cleaned?

Good advice. Thanks! Porsche price was £70 cheaper than I could find elsewhere so have gone for that...
